Add a CommentNot as useful as I had hoped. I was hoping to figure out how much relatively low loads were pulling, like my TV when it is "off" but still pulling power, and my chargers for electronic devices. The lowest this reads is 0.1 watts, and the loads I was investigating were below that.
Easiest device to use, just plug in and plug electronics, etc. or multi-outlet extension cords into it. Push buttons to view electricity usage details at the moment and since you plugged whatever into it.
Tried two of the Kill-A-Watt monitors, and they provided solid proof that my roommate is wasting tons of power every day, so I just shove a page of all the useful data the monitor provides in his face whenever he attempts to blam me for the increasing electric bills (My power consumption = 28 % of the total electricity, and he uses 72% of it. Hmmm.
Seriously, I've cut my electrical consumption back to 22% thanks to the info the Kill-A-Watt tracks and displays in real time. My roommate says if I ever bring another KILL-A-WATT into our place again, I'll end up paying the library for the cost of one being lost...or try to get SPL to take a bunch of pieces of a Killed-And-Wrecked unit back; funny roommie, huh?
